On the day I visited Kastellet, the old battlements of Copenhagen, they celbrated it’s 348’th birthday by dressing up.

If you walk on from the pier of the Royal Danish yacht you pass the Norwegian church and come to Kastellet, the resently renovated part of Copenhagen’s old defense. In the old days people would promanade on the battlement in their Sunday clothes. You can almost see it…

And here are the pavillions where the royal Danish family waits before boarding their yacht. Denmark is mostly islands so it’s easy to sail to places.

The elaborate lamp posts are the reward for anyone looking up while cruising the area of the royal family’s yacht.

One fine day in the fall I visited the district of Copenhagen called Østerbro. I went to photograph a fountain that turned out not to be turned on, but other motives begged to join the others here on the blog.
I am close to the Amalienborg where the queen lives, and the two houses in the background are there for her pleasure as she awaits to board the royal yacht, Dannebro.

Wrapping up the fall pictures from Christianshavn, I decided to do all of them in black and white. Pick your favorite, color or not…

Every once in a while I try black/white. I don’t know… I like the muted colors. I feel I’m missing a dimension here.

Another faded flower… I find the contrast of city vs. nature interesting. It seems to give more of an edge than pictures taken in the wild.

Are the muted colours and the subtle details not at least as beautiful as the flowers in bloom?

Roses turn to seeds turn to roses turn to… Each phase has its own unique beauty.
